The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is asking for public feedback on certain information collections as part of their efforts to decrease paperwork, in line with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. They want comments on whether the information collection is necessary, how accurate the FCC's estimates are, and how to improve the quality and reduce the burden of collecting this information. The FCC requires commercial television stations to file a report, FCC Form 2100, Schedule H, about the children's educational programming they aired each year. This requirement stems from the Children's Television Act of 1990, and recent updates have been made to the rules regarding this programming. The public has until July 7, 2025, to send in their comments.
Simple Explanation
The FCC wants to know what people think about how TV stations report kids' shows they air to help cut down on paperwork. They want ideas on making it easier and cheaper for everyone, especially tiny businesses, to give them this information.
